  10. Research on Lis Education

  11. Research on LIS Education • KALIPER: North America (1998-2000) • European Curriculum (2002-2004) • Liper: Japan (2003-2006) • GlobaLIS: Global (2010-2014) • Trends of MLS programs [2016]

  12. KALIPER: North America (1999-2000) KALIPER (the Kellogg ALISE Information Professions and Education Renewal) project (1998-2000) extensively examined LIS curriculum in North America and identified five trends. • Development of broader frameworks for examining information problems, • Increased interdisciplinarity, • Stronger information technology infrastructure, • More effective use of technology to support curricular innovations, • More effective delivery of distance learning, greater flexibility in program delivery, and • The emergence of more user-centered curriculum. Pettigrew, K. E., & Durrance, J. C. (2001). KALIPER: Introduction and overview of results. Journal of education for library and information science, 170-180.

  13. European Curriculum (2002-2004) European Curriculum Reflections on Library and Information Science Education for LIS School evolution => Research oriented universities, • Three unique core areas of LIS: • Knowledge organization • Information use behaviour • Information retrieval • Spiral model of curriculum development (North America Model) • Specific professional skills => Theoretical knowledge applicable to practices Lorring, L., & Kajberg, L. (2005). European curriculum reflections on library and information science education. Royal School of Library and Information Science.

  16. LIPER: Japan (2003-2006) Three-year research project to study LIS education for a Possible reform of Japanese LIS education system The structure of Japanese LIS education has remained unchanged for 50 years, and the gap between it and overseas LIS education has been ever increasing. The curricula and contents are not well standardized nor integrated into higher education programs and very few Graduates get employed in library markets. New areas of education including IT skills and user behaviour are sought. Many people seek to obtain LIS education for certification as librarians even though employment opportunities for full-time librarians are quite limited. Proposals • (1) establish LIS examination for students so that they are able to self-evaluate what they have learned through LIS education and obtain better employment opportunities; • (2) introduce a new standard curriculum for information professional education to emphasize core areas of information organization, information resources and services, information systems and retrieval, management, IT, and a better understanding of user behaviour Miwa, M., Ueda, S., Nemoto, A., Oda, M., Nagata, H., & Horikawa, T. (2006, August). Final results of the LIPER project in Japan.

  18. GlobaLIS: Global (2010-2014) • Developed a database of core courses on master’s-level LIS programs. • Gathered descriptions of 286 courses in 34 programs offered by colleges and/or universities in 18 countries. • Data collection was mainly carried out by 3 GlobaLIS project members. • Data were analyzed into “Standard Curriculum for Education of Information Professionals” proposed by the LIPER project. • Course characteristics could be assigned to eight categories. • Specific characteristics of course distribution were identified according to the geographic regions of Asia, Oceania, North America, and Europe. • Findings reflect the distinct cultural and educational contexts of each region. • Results may prove useful as a basis for globalizing the curriculum for LIS programs in Japan.
